Michael Olise’s future remains a hot topic at FC Bayern. The French national team player remains at the top of Real Madrid’s wish list. Recently, however, reports have circulated suggesting that the Royals have changed their transfer plans and now want to sign Erling Haaland from Manchester City instead. But apparently, the reality is quite different.

As BILD soccer editor Christian Falk reports in the “Bayern Insider” podcast, the Madrid club has by no means lost interest in Olise. Rather, the Spaniards are pursuing an even more ambitious plan.

When asked whether Real Madrid wants to sign Haaland instead of Olise, Falk replied unequivocally: “That’s not true.” The transfer insider then explained: “And it’s not true because it’s not instead of Michael Olise.”

Real Madrid dreams of Haaland and Olise

Accordingly, Real Madrid officials continue to be intensely focused on both attacking stars. Haaland’s situation, in particular, is being closely monitored in Madrid.

The reason for this is the potential sporting consequences for Manchester City. Should the top English club face severe penalties due to the ongoing financial investigations, an opportunity for the Norwegian’s transfer could arise.

Falk made it clear, however, that Haaland is by no means being considered as an alternative to the Bayern star. “Not instead of Michael Olise, but alongside Michael Olise,” the BILD reporter clarified.

It seems Real Madrid continues to dream of a spectacular offensive lineup featuring several top international stars.

Real wants to lay out the terms for Olise

Particularly interesting: According to information from Falk, the Madrid club is already trying to gauge the conditions for a potential Olise transfer.

The Spanish sports newspaper AS also reports that Real remains interested in the 24-year-old. Although club officials know that Bayern Munich currently has no intention of selling him, the Royals still want to be prepared.

“They want to lay out the terms and see if he’ll actually extend his contract,” Falk explained. In addition, initial financial proposals could already be communicated to make a potential move more appealing to Olise.

BILD reporter Julian Agardi also believes that the Madrid club holds a special appeal for the Frenchman. “Real Madrid [hat] already holds a certain appeal for Michael Olise,” he explained.

At the same time, Agardi praised the Bayern star’s conduct. Olise has not commented publicly on his future, thereby avoiding unnecessary speculation. However, should Real Madrid actually make a concrete offer, the reporter believes the attacking player will listen very closely to the Spanish club’s plans.

For FC Bayern, the situation remains clear: The Munich club wants to keep Olise long-term. Real Madrid, however, has apparently not given up on its efforts by any means.
